Collada Loader

I would like to point out that the example at google code of a Collada Loader is misleading. (code.google.com/p/androidcolladaloader)
The way to handle data in the characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) callback funtion should be done in the endElement(String uri, String localName, String name) callback function. This is because data between XML tags can be splitted by the sax xml parser and then call the characters function multiple times. The solution to this I found at coderanch:
coderanch.com/t/432967/XML/Missing-characters-SAX-Parser
Where Ulf Dittmer suggests:
Yes. The one you have apparently assumes that all text data is returned in a single chunk (I can't tell for sure since you didn't post the full code of the method). You need to change it so that it still works if the text is returned in several chunks. One way to do that would be to append the text to a StringBuffer (which would be field in your handler class). Once the end element of whatever tag surrounds this text is reached, you can handle the text itself.

An example of working with a stringBuffer in the characters function is shown here:

Note that the start and length argument given with the characters call back function are not there for nothing!

[Q] Soft Keyboard Concealing EditText View?

I've asked this elsewhere, but no one has been able to help me. i'm hoping the good people here at XDA will be able to provide some food for thought, if not a full resolution to my issue.
I have a layout.xml set for an activity, which is essentially a RelativeLayout containing several Views including an EditText. Every View is set to layout_width="match_parent" except for 3 Buttons across the bottom, and a single line EditText with a Button on its right. Every View is set to layout_height="wrap_content", but the multiline EditText that I am concerned with uses relative anchors to align the top with a single-line EditText View above it, and the bottom with the Buttons below it.
Everything looks perfectly fine when the Activity launches, but when I touch the multiline EditText, because it is low on the screen, the iME Keyboard completely covers the multiline EditText. For obvious reasons, it is unacceptable to use the soft keyboard to type into a View that is completely covered and not visible.
It's been suggested that I modify the Activity's windowSoftInputMode parameter in the Manifest, but neither adjustPan nor adjustResize creates the desired result. With adjustPan, the keyboard simply covers the Buttons and the multiline EditText. With adjustResize, the keyboard still completely covers the multiline EditText, but the buttons actually shift up as if they are attached to the top of the keyboard.
The issue seems to be that the Views above the multiline EditText cannot be resized--a Date Picker, a Time Picker, a single line EditText (adjacent to a Button) and then the multiline EditText in question.
I can't for the life of me figure out why the EditText completely gets covered despite the fact that it has focus.
Any suggestions/thoughts?

To close this thread up, I found out that minSdkVersion being set below "4" (it was "3" for me) causes some issues with the soft keyboard. I upped it to "4", and voila, it worked perfectly.

Java to XML

Hi guys.
New to Android Development and was wondering if there was some way of taking the users input to create an activity? For example say the user is going through the process of setting up a profile of themself. One of the questions is "how many pets do you have?". The user inputs "4" and then clicks the 'Next' button (which opens the next activity).
How would I take the users input of "4" to create four editText objects in the next activity so that the user can now input the name's of his/her's pets?
I'm an ok-ish programmer (have never touched XML before) so you don't need to go into detail I just don't know how I would access this variable to create the four editText objects. From what I've found you can't add strings to the resources at runtime.

Don't bother replying, I've solved my problem. Just need to create a dynamic layout in JAVA

[Q] Reinsert Text to TextView

Hi everyone .
Can I combine to Texts into one TextView ?
I know its very ununderstandable . So let's shape it :
Imagine I have to Buttons That navigates to two different activities which both Have one view , one code but different texts .
Now imagine I have 1hunderd of them .
Can I make just one activity with one TextView item but the texts inside it differs depending on choosing different buttons ? If not understandable again let me know please .
Thanks in advanced

Yeah, you can:
When the button is clicked, do something like this:
Code:
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.[id of the text view]);
tv.setText([either the resource id or the text]);
You can check which text is displayed using the getText() method of the TextView and then display the other text using the method I gave you above. :good:

noob needs assistance Please be noob friendly.

Hello everyone. My name is tony. First off sorry for being a noob. I should have been learned this. I would like to ask if i could get some help. I want to create a simple calculator that just has a GUI with a grid like layout of clickable buttons at the lower-left-hand side of the activity that has the value 0-9,addition, subtraction,
multiplication,division,decimal, percentage,calculate,clear and clear all . I would like a Text-view above the buttons to display the values of the buttons when clicked. I also would like the result of the calculation to be in the upper right hand corner of the screen that fades in when the user clicks the calculate button .I have searched around and have looked at lots of source code for calculators but there not really "nooob friendlyy"
Some Logic of what im wanting:
user click numbutton -> button pushes its value to Text-View -> user click numbutton -> button pushes its value to Text-View
->user clicks an operand-> Text-View clears its Text on next numbutton press (but still holding that prior value the user entered)->user clicks another numbutton (if they clicked a numbutton it's value would be set to the text-view) or the calculate button -> calculate the two values using the clicked operand and set it to the TextView Result->TextView Result fades in at the top right hand corner of the activity.
Here is were i get
(1)I'm trying to use int/longs and float/doubles depending if the decimal is in the text view when the user clicks the operand.
if is there, expect and return floats and if not, expect and return int's.
(2)parse commands parseInt().gettext().tostring coverts the int to string and respectively for the other data types correct?Is there some benefit to covering to strings?
Rather is it possible to have this implemented using a switch statement?

You should use Double.parseDouble method
